章 3: 3. A Dream?
After Aiden left, there wasn't anything interesting or eventful that happened.
Time quickly passed by, before Griffin knew it, the sun was setting.
Looking at the last customer walk away, Griffin notices the sunset into the distant sky.
Boom!
It was like the world froze at that moment for Griffin.
He was lost, staring blankly at the sun set into the horizon. It was as if his spirit left his body to bask in the embrace of the sun's warmth. His left hand was raised as if he was trying to grasp hold of the sun's warmth, or maybe it was a memory in the recesses of his mind that he forgot that he was trying to grasp. Like something trying to surface from the bottom of his conscious but couldn't breakthrough the surface.
Slowly bits and pieces of what appeared to be an image of both a man and a woman hovering over him. Although it was blurry at first, gradually it became clear.
The woman had tears running down her face, with her hand covering her mouth. The most eye catching thing was the obsidian pendant hanging from her neck.
The man on the other hand had one tear each crawl down from each eyeball on his deadpan face. The most noticeable thing however, was that he had piercing emerald eyes.
Slowly the image in his mind started to recede back to the recess of his conscious. Griffin tried his hardest to maintain the image. But begrudgingly, he stopped his useless struggle. Only thing that he could do was memorize the faces of the two people with the little time he had left before the image vanishes.
Rumbling
He was woken up out of his stupor from his stomach telling him to eat some food while still staring at the sun set in the distance.
The sun was quietly falling asleep in the sky. Many different colors ranging from orange to blue illuminated the sky for the final moments of the day.
The sun was then shielded behind a massive mountain range, with a forest protecting its front. The forest was like a snake, going across and in between the mountains with a large river in between splitting the ocean of trees in half.
The sunset was like an old friend or parent beckoning him, as if there was something for him if he went there.
Griffin whispers, "so beautiful, yet so lonely." Slowly dropping his hand to his side.
"Beautiful isn't it." Rayver exclaims standing next to Griffin while placing a hand onto his shoulder. Lost for words Griffin could only answer with,"y-yeah."
A pause settles in as they look on as the sun sets behind the mountain range with that last bits of warmth radiating from it.
After what appears to be only a few moments, Rayver looks at Griffin and tells him, "Every sunset brings forth the promise of a new dawn."
"What does that mean." Griffin asks confused while still staring at the sunset.
"Nothing, just something to think about." Rayver tells Griffin while staring at him dismissing what he just said.
"Let's finish up here so we can get some good food and drink in our belly. Oh. Drink for me, juice for you." Rayver adds while moving towards his stall beckoning Griffin along.
Hearing Rayver, Griffin trails behind after one last glance at the mountain that's covering the sunset from view with an unconscious motion of placing his left hand onto the pendant hanging around his neck.
Rayver begins to explain the process of cleaning up with a simple" this goes here, that goes there" repeatedly pointing at a couple things in succession.
Time passed and in no time they finished packing up everything around on the stall cart.
Rayver double checks that everything is in place somewhere on the cart where they won't fall off, then proceeds to pull the stall cart towards the closest alley way and pushes it inside.
Griffin looks questionly at Rayver actions wondering why he would put it there.
Rayver proud of his so called concealment of the stall claps his hands together. Glancing at Griffin who has a questioning look on his face. Waving his hand dismissively in the air responds to Griffin expression," it's just wood, if somebody steals it I can always make a new one or pay someone to build one for me."
"Ok." Griffin replies seeing how Rayver wasn't going to offer a better explanation.
"Let's go, I'm hungry. I'm sure you are too." Saying that Rayver walked away while Griffin trailed behind him.
